The conservative party in government (SVP) announced plans to promote a liberal labour market. Part ofthe plans is to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights. Beyond that, the SVP wants toget rid of the ILO-Conventions that the country has ratified with the argument that only internationalconventions that are backed up by a popular referendum are acceptable. Trade union confederation hasstarted to mobilise against the proposals. The union says that workers can derive several important rightsfrom the ratified conventions: the right to be organised, the right to collective bargaining, equal treatment atthe workplace and other fundamental rights. A withdrawal would destroy the protection of workers.
